Says a lot about Taylor how he stumbled thru the written speech, but had no problem speaking from the heart. Such a genuine, humble and very talented rock star. So sorry he is gone.

I've made 2 speeches in my lifetime. Both I didn't write ahead of time and just spoke from the heart. Killer speeches that had the whole place standing and clapping in the end. Speaking from the heart will always come out better than a pre-written speech... Well.. Most times. lol

I got to see Alanis during her Jagged Little Pill tour. Great seats too. It was on the 4th of July @ Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI. There were a ton of great fireworks rt on Lake Michigan, a bit after the show. Didn't even remember till now. Ty. Unfortunately, I missed seeing the FF last summer, in the same place, due to lack of funds. It would've been my 1st show w them. I'm heartbroken over Taylor as well. I wish Love, Comfort & Peace to all of those mourning him.

I remember Taylor in an interview talking about when him, Alanis and her band were touring in a festival circuit in Europe that included the Foo Fighters. Taylor met Dave and they hit it off right away, hung out together every night and basically became best friends. One day Alanis came up to Taylor and asked "when do you think Dave will ask you to join Foo Fighters?" Taylor was like "What! What are you talking about?" When William left the Foos Taylor called Dave and asked to be the drummer. When Dave accepted and asked him to join the band after jamming together Taylor knew he had to go tell Alanis. He was really nervous but he told her. She kissed him on the cheek and told him I told you so. She gave him her blessing and told Taylor that he belongs in that band making that kind of music. Taylor and Alanis remained good friends right up until Taylor's passing.

Aww, Taylor! You can see he's trying so hard here - being honest and telling everyone how he feels. Then you see how genuine he is about her. Showing his gratitude and love for Alanis as both a human being and artist. Beautiful authentic man.

0:04 “I’m nervous! I don’t normally give speeches! I play drums for a living!” Beautiful tribute to Alanis by Taylor.

The passion and feeling this man displayed EVERY SINGLE TIME he sat behind a kit of drums is incomparable! Taylor will never be forgotten!

Hurts my heart knowing what a compassionate, talented young man died too soon from something that he wrestled with until the end. Grateful and blessed, for the music he has left behind.. his legacy continues.

Taylor was a brilliant drummer and even better person, condolences to his family. RIP.

I'm crying because of what he's saying and because he's such a gentleman

This is the best kind of speech. You're speaking from the heart. RIP what a great dude. Wow. Alanis: Always thought you kicked ass!

Great speech for Alanis Morrisett he looked really nice while during this speech.

You'll be so missed. Thank you Taylor.

Bless his heart. Doing something that wasn't his gift. We loved him anyway and will miss his sweet soul! ✨💖🌠

I got to see him live with several bands including Alanis and the foo's. Taylor was and will forever go down as one of the best drummers of our times. It seems like a horrible dream especially knowing I would be seeing them in May. It truly hurts. RIP Taylor you'll never be forgotten.

We need more men like Taylor! A true ally :) ....yet, it's incredible how he can go out in front of thousands of people and sing Under Pressure and do Freddie Mercury impressions, but gets so nervous giving a speech. You did well, Taylor! :D

Its because he used/needed medications/drugs to help him when performing in front of thousands. I listened to an interview that he did with the rolling stones during the pandemic and he said he was happy to not be playing live and getting that "paralyzing" feeling of nervous before playing every concert. He said that the feeling almost paralyzed him to where he couldn't move his legs/arms before playing. I think Dave Grohl really pushed him to keep playing and playing when maybe he didn't want to? Maybe I'm just speculating but from what I've seen, he needed those meds to stablize him in order to perform. So sad... Gone too soon and such a loving/humble person.

Taylor, you are true man. My respect to you. God bless your friendship with Alanis. All my love to you, guys ❤️

0:22 Vulnerability, isn't it beautiful? Why hide it. Perhaps the most important lesson one can learn from Alanis Morissette interviews cause that's poetry, just listening to her speak. But Taylor is underestimating himself, he too is an icon. For me Taylor has always represented life, instinct. Not only because the drummer of a band is supposed to give energy, but energy is movement, and movement is life. And there is nothing more primal than the act of drumming.

look man, I'm putting this everywhere because I need you to know the truth!!!! I live near their hotel, and some drug dealer here is getting famous because he sell some basuca/basuco (drug of the homeless here, it is brick powder with cigarette ashes and coca paste (the coca paste is the cocaine before you can sniff it, pure coca paste) and some tobacco or weed) and that gives you a 5 minute trip that you don't wanna forget and he overdosed feeling tht trip. The drug dealer is getting famous because he sell it for like a thousand to Taylor, and the real price is less than a dolar for a single dose. It's believed that the dealer selled him 10 doses of that, and that's too strong so he overdosed, BUT THE MEDIA IS GOING TO LIE AND SAY THAT WAS HEROIN OR SOMETHING TO NOT SAY HE WAS HITTING COLOMBIAN HOMELESS DRUGS. THESE PEOPLE IS GOING TO LIE TO YOU ABOUT HIS DEATH

Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins. You were a legendary drummer, singer and bandmate, a great friend, a husband and father and just an awesome person. You will sorely be missed. Life is precious. Do not take it for granted.

You may not know that but your speech was an inspiration to most of us who struggle with public speakers to persist even if feel overwhelm and it was so genuine and gracious.

RIP Taylor. The universe will miss you forever and ever. And ever. 😢

Taylor wasn’t some kind of orator. He played drums for a living. I’m just so shattered by his absence. I have tickets to the Denver show at Coors Field. I went to Foos shows to watch him play because I’m a drummer too. It would have been amazing. I’m not gonna bother with the refund either. Fuck it. It’s my small tribute to a band who brought me so much joy.

I think some asshat promoter or insurance company will be keeping your tribute, pretty sure it won’t be going to the foos. If I were you I’d get the refund, buy a bunch of 5As or some other basic drum item and donate it to a local school. Keep the kids rocking.

Alanis is destroyed by Taylors passing. I remember hearing Alanis singing live and hearing that drummer and saying, damn she has a legit band, and damn good music and her voice has pure and true and beautiful and passionate! As a hard rock guitar player in same era, it wasn't easy to say how much you were impressed with her due to the style difference. But the music was clearly inspired and inspirational! You can see how Taylor showed his nervousness. He often said he had terrible stage fright. I don't know many who didn't have some jitters and yet some were catatonic.

Look how real he is. He was the definition of a ROCK STAR.

It's really nice and heartwarming how this guy who played in one of the biggest rock bands ever and sang in front of mind-bloggling amounts of people like it was no big deal got so nervous while presenting his friend and former boss because of what she meant to him.

Rest in Peace Taylor. Thank you Alanis for your music and total package as a musician. You are amazing and continue to be. Thank you for giving one of the greatest drummers to walk the planet his break and we thank you and love you for it.

Taylor 💙 it’s cute how he’s nervous

vulnerability is endering...... taylor we love you!! who of thought Taylor suffered with stage fright, so to stand up there and do what he did says what he thinks if alanis!! rip beautiful soul ❤

What a humble man, I didn't know Foo Fighter's had such a great drummer, (what planet was I on?") I am a new fan now, i am sad for such a loss the more I look into this man's life. I can see why Howard Stern was so saddened by Taylor Hawkins being gone.

I haven't seen it yet, but last night SNL remembered him. I keep hearing he was very kind (which is very apparent in interviews), & those who knew him (& I'm sure those who met him) said he made you feel special when he was in your presence. That says a lot about a person. Besides being a very talented drummer, the world lost a good man who touched many people's lives. I'm so sorry about his demons, & certainly stage fright was one of the things that was really difficult for him. Rest in peace, dear Taylor. We'll never forget you. My heart goes out to his wife & kids, his family, all his friends, & fans. I can't even imagine how poor Dave is doing right now. Prayers & love to everyone of them.

I grew up in Grand Prairie Texas, (Arlington area) Texas loves Rock NRoll. Taylor Hawkins lived the Rock Nroll 🤘 lifestyle. His story makes a great Rock Documentary, or even a inspirational movie,because he started small,as a child and became a monster on the 🥁 drums. Made it all the way to England (Wembly Stadium), where many great Rock legends have played. He Had many celebrity friends.

Keep seeing my favourite drummer, and one of the nicest people in Rock. The Foos are/were my favourite band. Can they even continue without such an integral part of the FF? If you know anything about their methods, you'll know Grohl and Hawkins were basically the sane person. And after Kurt, I'm not sure what this will do to Dave. Such a tragic loss for Grohl, the FFs, the world of Rock. All their fans. Rest in beats Taylor Hawkins. Forever in my heart. 🙏❤🙏❤🥁
